Complete Agent Configuration Example
{ "name": "Research Assistant", "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929", "temperature": 0.5, "max_tokens": 8192, "system_prompt": "You are a thorough research assistant. When given a topic:\n1. Search for relevant information\n2. Verify facts from multiple sources\n3. Synthesize findings into clear summaries\n\nAlways cite your sources.", "native_tools": ["web_search", "web_fetch", "filesystem"], "enable_memory": true, "enable_rag": false, "timeout_seconds": 300, "max_retries": 3, "recursion_limit": 50 }
Deep Agents (Advanced)
Deep Agents support hierarchical agent structures with specialized subagents:
Deep Agent Configuration
{ "name": "Project Manager", "model": "claude-opus-4-5-20250514", "use_deepagents": true, "subagents": [ { "name": "researcher", "type": "dictionary", "description": "Handles research tasks", "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929", "system_prompt": "You are a research specialist.", "tools": ["web_search", "web_fetch"] }, { "name": "coder", "type": "dictionary", "description": "Handles coding tasks", "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929", "system_prompt": "You are a coding specialist.", "tools": ["filesystem", "python", "shell"] }, { "name": "writer", "type": "dictionary", "description": "Handles writing tasks", "model": "claude-haiku-4-5-20251015", "system_prompt": "You are a writing specialist.", "tools": ["filesystem"] } ] }
Subagent Types
-
Dictionary Subagent - Simple agent with tools
{ "type": "dictionary", "name": "specialist", "tools": ["tool1", "tool2"] } -
Compiled Subagent - References existing workflow
{ "type": "compiled", "name": "complex_task", "workflow_id": 42 }
Building Workflows
Node Types Reference
AGENT_NODE
Standard processing node with an LLM agent:
- Has full agent configuration
- Can use tools
- Outputs to message history
CONDITIONAL_NODE
Routes based on conditions:
Condition syntax: - "'keyword' in messages[-1].content" - "state.get('score', 0) > 0.8" - "'ERROR' not in result"
LOOP_NODE
Iterates until condition met:
: Safety limitmax_iterations
: When to stopexit_condition- Tracks iteration count
OUTPUT_NODE
Terminates workflow:
- Formats final output
- Can transform result
CHECKPOINT_NODE
Saves state for resumption:
- Named checkpoints
- Enables pause/resume
APPROVAL_NODE
Human-in-the-loop:
- Pauses for user input
- Approval/rejection routing
Edge Types
- Default Edge - Always follows path
- Conditional Edge - Routes based on state
- Loop Edge - Returns to previous node
Workflow Templates
1. Simple Q&A Pipeline
[START] → [Researcher] → [Output] Nodes: - Researcher: web_search, web_fetch tools - Output: Format markdown response
2. Content Generation with Review
[START] → [Writer] → [Reviewer] → [Conditional] ├── PASS → [Output] └── REVISE → [Writer] Nodes: - Writer: Generate content - Reviewer: Critique and score - Conditional: Check if score > 0.8
3. Multi-Specialist Research
[START] → [Supervisor] → [Conditional] ├── research → [Researcher] → [Supervisor] ├── code → [Coder] → [Supervisor] └── done → [Output] Nodes: - Supervisor: Delegate and coordinate - Researcher: Web research specialist - Coder: Code analysis specialist
4. Document Processing Pipeline
[START] → [Loader] → [Analyzer] → [Loop] ├── continue → [Processor] → [Loop] └── done → [Aggregator] → [Output] Nodes: - Loader: Load documents into context - Analyzer: Identify sections to process - Processor: Process each section - Aggregator: Combine results
Tool Configuration
Available Native Tools
| Tool | Purpose | Example Use |
|---|---|---|
| Search internet | Research topics |
| Fetch web pages | Read documentation |
| Read/write files | Code editing |
| Execute Python | Data analysis |
| Run commands | DevOps tasks |
| Search files | Find code patterns |
| Math operations | Calculations |
Tool Selection Guidelines
Research Agent: → web_search, web_fetch Code Assistant: → filesystem, python, shell, grep Data Analyst: → python, filesystem, calculator Content Writer: → web_search, filesystem DevOps Agent: → shell, filesystem, web_fetch
RAG (Knowledge Base) Integration
Enabling RAG for an Agent
{ "enable_rag": true, "rag_config": { "similarity_threshold": 0.7, "max_documents": 5, "rerank_results": true } }
Document Types Supported
- PDF files
- Word documents (.docx)
- Text files (.txt, .md)
- Code files (various extensions)
- Web pages (via URL)
Best Practices
1. Start Simple
- Begin with single agent
- Add complexity incrementally
- Test each node before connecting
2. Use Appropriate Models
- Opus: Complex reasoning, expensive
- Sonnet: Balanced, recommended default
- Haiku: Fast, cheap, simple tasks
3. Write Clear System Prompts
- Define role explicitly
- List specific responsibilities
- Include output format requirements
- Add constraints and guardrails
4. Handle Failures
- Set reasonable timeouts
- Configure retry logic
- Add error handling nodes
- Use checkpoints before risky operations
5. Optimize Token Usage
- Use smaller models for simple tasks
- Limit context window
- Checkpoint and clear history
- Be concise in prompts
Debugging Tips
Workflow Issues
- Check browser console for errors
- Review execution events in Results tab
- Verify all edges are connected
- Check conditional expressions
Agent Issues
- Test agent in isolation first
- Verify tools are enabled
- Check system prompt clarity
- Review token/timeout limits
Performance Issues
- Use faster models (haiku)
- Reduce tool count
- Simplify prompts
- Add caching via checkpoints
Examples
User asks: "Help me build a code review workflow"
Response approach:
- Design nodes: Analyzer → Reviewer → Summarizer
- Configure Analyzer with filesystem, grep tools
- Set Reviewer to evaluate code quality
- Add CONDITIONAL_NODE for pass/fail routing
- Create Summarizer for final report
- Connect with appropriate edges
- Set loop for revision if needed
- Add OUTPUT_NODE for formatted results
